Thread: Interesting idea to stop killing vaccination workers in Pakistan

Why not teach the Teliban to administer the vaccine, that way they won't kill the workers from the WHO any longer for they would be doing the job instead. I do not know if this idea has been tried but I just thought I'd throw it out there and see what everyone thinks about it. The Teliban are killing the WHO workers because they think they are part of a scheme by the government to spy on them, which is true, but if they were doing the job then the vaccine still could be given out onl=y by them instead.

Better that people get the vaccine for polio rather than not getting it at all.

Or have the Teliban go along with the workers to vaccinate people.

A better idea would be, for the Pak Government and military, to get organised and eliminate the Taliban. This would do away with the need, for NGO's to try and operate in very hostile conditions.
